    Glossary Skin Barrier Integrity

    outermost skin layer's health and protective function

    Skin Barrier Integrity refers to the health and functionality of the outermost layer of the skin, which acts as a protective shield against environmental threats like bacteria, chemicals, and moisture loss. Maintaining this integrity is crucial for preventing infections, irritation, and conditions like eczema, as well as for overall skin health.
